Abstract

A fiber based lidar system is developed which simplifies the processing of linear FM pulses by using a modulated local oscillator power in the coherent detector. Experiments were conducted on lidar systems with direct, heterodyne and simplified homodyne detection to compare receiver sensitivity. A field experiment using the homodyne system verified the sensitivity estimation on a building target at 370-m range.
